Orientation Days

• The Orientation Days are a mandatory part of your studies.
• Social events are also organised during the evening so keep the whole days reserved so that you can attend.
• You can only attend the orientation days for the new student group you belong to and at the campus you were offered admission to. If you were admitted to Vaasa you must attend the orientation days in Vaasa and vice versa. 
• Students arriving from abroad: make travel arrangements which ensure that you arrive well in advance before the Orientation Days.

During the Orientation days you will

• gain all the information needed to kick-start your studies, study practicalities and what is expected of you as a student at Hanken.
• learn how to create your study plan and register for courses in the study tool Sisu.
• learn which services and possibilities Hanken offers.
• get to know the study environment.
• get to network with both new and old students.

Tutoring

• Hanken offers tutoring for all new Bachelor's and Master's degree students.
  • The tutors are older students who on a voluntary basis stand as tutors.
  • The tutors help the new students to kick-start their studies and organise social events where you get to know the other new students. 
• Hanken does not offer pick-up service from the airport, harbour or train station for international students nor of apartment keys, but it is very easy to use the public transport in Finland.
